A/N This is the second chapter! Usually here an author would thank her loyal readers for their beautiful reviews. But, since at the time I wrote this, I hadn't put up the first chapter, I can't. Sorry! Anyways, on with the show! Read AND review sil vous plait!
"You have seen Smallville, right Natalie? You can't honestly think that it needs a Holiday Inn," Lex replied with a smirk. Natalie only laughed in response, but she agreed completely. This place probably didn't get many tourists. "Seriously Natalie. What are you doing here?" He looked straight in to her eyes, waiting for her to answer. She looked away quickly.
"Jason's getting out of jail," she practically whispered. Her eyes filled with tears, though she willed them not to. "He'll be on parole, but still, he'll be free."
"How is that possible? I thought you'd said the judge said it would be 5 years before there was anyway of him getting out?"
"I know. Someone most likely paid her off." Natalie mumbled, tears now surfacing.
"Don't worry. I'll do something about this," Lex said standing up.
"No! You can't. If you do, then it'll clue Jason in to where I am. Please don't Lex, please," she begged. But he couldn't just leave things like they were. Jason would find out anyway. Lex chanced a glance at his sister. She was crying, and he could see how terrified she was. He walked over to where she was sitting on the couch and hugged her tightly.
"I won't do anything unless he comes here. I promise," he whispered in her ear. He could feel her nodding. She leaned back and smiled. It looked out of place on her tear stained face, but it was welcome all the same.
"Thank you Lex," she replied. Then she kissed him on the cheek and jumped up off the couch. "So," she said cheerfully, "where am I sleeping?"
Clark climbed out of his truck and ran through the pouring rain, towards the Luthor Mansion door. He rang the bell and waited. The door was opened a split second later, and Clark looked up to see a young girl, about his age. "Uh hi is Lex around?" He asked uncertainly.
"Hi Clark. Come on in," a voice greeted him from directly behind the girl. Clark saw that the voice came from his good friend Lex, who was standing in the doorway with the girl. Lex and the girl moved out of his way, so that Clark could enter the foyer. "Clark this is my sister Natalie. Natalie this is my good friend Clark." The girl, who Clark knew was Natalie now, smiled brightly and gave him a small wave.
"Nice to meet you Clark," she said, smiling happily, all evidence of the earlier breakdown gone.
"Nice to meet you too, Natalie."
"Uh, Lex I'm just going to go explore the house a bit. Call me when dinner's ready alright?" And with that, she ran off before Lex could even respond.
"I didn't know there was another Luthor child," Clark said.
"Either did I until about a year ago," Lex responded. Clark didn't say anything in return, and Lex took this as an invitation to continue. "Here's lets go into my study," he suggested, leading the way. After him and Clark were seated, he continued. "You see I was in my apartment in Metropolis. I was told that there was a girl who wanted to speak with me, but wouldn't say why. She just said that she had to talk to me. So, I decided to speak with her. That's when I learned that Natalie was my younger sister. You see, my father wasn't the most faithful man. Even he'll admit it. Sometime just before my mother died, my father had so sort of relationship with some unknown woman. Her birth was kept secret. He had her adopted by a nice family, who lived in New York. But they died, and shortly after my father's people reported to him that they could not find his daughter. She had in fact moved to Metropolis, and resided in an apartment under a false name. She attended a private school under a different name. Even she won't tell me how she got the funds. Shortly after I'd met her, she got into some trouble, and I helped her out. After that I hadn't seen her again until just this afternoon."
"So you had no idea she was coming?"
"None."
"Well how long is she staying for?" Clark questioned. He was a little suspicious of the entire story. What did Lex mean by ' got into some trouble'?
"We haven't discussed that yet. Not that it matters. She can stay as long as she wants to," Lex responded.
"Oh. Well I just came over to make sure you're coming to Chloe's birthday party."
"Of course. This Saturday, correct?"
"Yep. Well I guess I'll see you then," Clark answered, standing up. Him and Lex made their way over to the study doors, and walked until the foyer. They looked up to see Natalie making her way down the massive stairs, which seemed to dwarf her.
"Going already Clark?" She asked. Clark nodded. "Well I'll see you later then."
"Yep. Bye Natalie. Bye Lex," he said, letting himself out.
"Your friend's cute," Natalie commented.
"You've noticed already?" Lex questioned, with a smirk on his face.
"It's the first thing I noticed," she responded, with an embarrassed smile. "And the fact that he's very tall."
"That he is," Lex commented, laughing. "Come on. I think dinner's almost ready."
"Great. What'd you make?"
"A Luthor? Cook? Oh you have much to learn, young one."
"Wait," she answered, turning around. "You mean that you have a cook?" Lex nodded. "Wow. You really are rich aren't you?"
Lex could only laugh as they walked together into the dining room. It doesn't matter how long she stays, he thought, just so long as she stays.
Clark wandered into the kitchen of his own home, where he could smell all the wonderful smells of a proper home-cooked meal. "Hi Mom. Hi Dad," he said cheerfully. He couldn't help but smile. After all, he'd just met a very beautiful girl.
"Hello Clark. Your father and I were just about to call in a P.I. to find you. Where were you?" Martha, Clark's mother, replied.
"I was over at Lex's. Guess what? He got a sister named Natalie." Clark blurted, eager to tell everyone he knew about Natalie. He really liked her. Maybe I should invite her to Chloe's party...
"A sister? God can't Lionel keep himself in his pants?" Johnathan Kent answered rudely.
"Dad!" Clark complained.
"Sorry Clark. But honestly that man has had far too many children."
"Especially for the type of father he is," Martha added.
"Well she's really nice. Not at all like Lionel. She didn't even live with him. Ever." Clark said, quick to defend her.
"Well is she staying with Lex?" His father asked.
"Yes."
"Well then we'll see how long it takes for the Luthor gene to kick in."
"Dad," Clark warned.
"Alright, alright. I won't judge her until I meet her."
"Thank you."
A/N Ok what a bad ending. And this is lots and lots of dialogue so sorry about that too. But even so I hope you enjoyed it! READ AND REVIEW!
